Image for Windows - Description

Image for Windows is a Win32 based backup and restore utility that creates a snapshot of an entire partition or volume to a set of files to a local or network drive, or directly to most CD-R/RW or DVD+RW/+R/-R/-RW drives creating a bootable restore disc. If something should ever happen to that partition or volume, you'll be able to simply restore the snapshot image.

Using the free PHYLock™ add-on utility you can continue to use your computer while the backup is locked to a point-in-time. This eliminates the inconsistencies typically experienced while backing up a partition that is in use.

A full featured 30-day trial version of Image for Windows is available from Terabyte Unlimited. Full version is available at less than $30, and it's worthy investment. This software is my personal favorite, and I've used this to backup different sets of my Windows XP Configuration, one partition contains a clean install of XP with device drivers loaded. I use this configuration to test a variety of products etc.. (Configuration 1)

Another installation includes device drivers, firewall, anti-virus, all other essential utilities that I use, configure the news reader, user profile customizations etc. (Configuration 2)

In Configuration 1, I use Image for Windows very often, to return the partition to the default configuration, after testing various utilities, REG edits etc.
